Judgment & Decree

MUHAMMAD HALEEM, J.--‑Cr. M. No. 11‑R of 1981, seeks bail for Muhammad Anwar, who was granted leave to appeal in Cr. P. No. 40‑R of 1980, on the ground that the evidence on record does not justify his detention. As the conviction rests on the sole testimony of Muhammad Yusuf which needs re‑appraisal for safe dispensation of justice; it is not possible to foreclose an opinion at this stage while considering the question of his bail. Accordingly, we find no justification to enlarge him on bail. The application is thus without merit and is dismissed. However, we would direct, that, if possible, the appeal should be made ready f6r hearing at an early date. M. Z. M. Petition dismissed.
